Getting Money

How do you earn money? Do you ask your parents for cash? Well, sometimes I ask for money when it's for school stuff. The way I earn money is by working for it from my job at the Free Market near Laney College 's parking lot every Sunday.
My dad owns table's so people can rent them. There are six groups of people of two working and I work with my brother. My brother and I head over to the Free Market around 3:45 pm to collect the tables (you might see me in a red or blue truck if you go) that my dad let people rent. Some of the workers use the flat bed cart to stack tables and load the tables onto the truck and make a small stack on the ground when the truck is full. My brother and I use the pick up truck to load tables to make it faster and easier. We head over to the self storage close by to unload the tables onto a pallet with four stacks in two storage's. There's another group with a pick up truck doing the same thing as us. That's a lot of tables and including three stacks on the big truck and six on the other truck. We have to hurry because the owner or the person in charge of the Free Market is very strict and people need to clean up the parking lot but some people who are selling are slow cleaning up. We check the parking lot for tables and my dad parks the two truck.
Working at the Free Market isn't that bad and it's pretty easy to me. My brother and I get paid every two work days. I get 70 dollars for the two weeks, not bad for my age I guess. But the only time I hate about working is in the Spring or Summer because it's HOT working in the sun for two half hours straight and I get a little tired. Another time when it rains on Sunday = [ because people don't sell and don't want our tables to get wet and I miss 35 dollars that day. The last few weeks I got lucky because it started to rain on Monday and being close missing another 70 dollars.
